October 1, 2011 New This is it.
Boys and girls, this is it for Goatmoose.
After 2.5 years of mostly meaningless nonsense, I’ve decided to put an end to this site. We’ve had some good posts, we’ve had a lot of mediocre posts, and we’ve rarely had any focus.
This site has served as a mental dump for me to post commentary, funny videos and pictures, reviews of products and video games, and anything else that crossed my mind as something I should share with the public. These things have all been fun, have given me a good amount of feedback, and were often enjoyable to put together. However, they were also often the things that kept the site from being anything cohesive, and kept it from being a place where anyone felt the need to revisit on a regular basis. Myself included. I’ve always known I wanted to create things, provide content, and do things that would entertain others. The problem was that I never knew how to connect my ideas or develop an audience. I still don’t feel like I do, but I think I’m further along than when I started Goatmoose, and I believe a new start is required for anything good to happen.
As such, I’m working on a fresh platform and have started a new blog for my future endeavors. For all 4.1 of you that are subscribed to this feed, please stick with me on my new site at jeffsaporito.wordpress.com. Tell a friend. It’s going to be swell, and I’d like to have you along.
Thank you to anyone who has visited Goatmoose over the years. It’s time to move on. Let’s do something real.
Jeff

September 28, 2011 Quick notes on life
- The fish stick box instructs me to “remove fish from plastic pouch before cooking.” I’m pretty sure if I needed the box to tell me that, I don’t deserve to eat.
- I love finding old vegetables in the bottom fridge drawer that got buried so long ago they’ve turned into such goop puddles that you can’t even tell what vegetables they used to be.
- Paul & Storm – “Live”

September 1, 2011 Thursday Nerd Song – MC Chris – Fett’s Vette
I’m one of those nerds who doesn’t really care for Star Wars. Sorry. Regardless, this rap about Boba Fett gets my mental synapses dancing every time. MC Chris is one of nerdcore hiphop’s foremost rappers. He has a voice that sounds like a ten year old leemur and looks entirely different, but sure knows how to flow. Especially about pod races and intergalactic bounty hunting.

August 31, 2011 Wednesday Nerd Song – 8-Bit Boys – Solid Infiltration
What happens when a gang of nerdcore rappers pretend they are an elite group of special operatives on call from FOXHOUND to assist Solid Snake in the destruction of Metal Gear?
This, obviously.

August 30, 2011 Tuesday Nerd Song – Lemon Demon – Knife Fight
Neil Cicierega is a silly comedian/musician who is not only a super geeky looking fellow, but makes very nerdy music under the name Lemon Demon. This song is weird on a huge level – intensely catchy, humorous, and with a surprise ending!
Drink this bowl of nerd punch for some great Tuesday tunage.
How are the daily nerd songs treating you thus far? Let me hear your opinions on the selections to date.

August 29, 2011 Kinect Arcade – Fruit Ninja Kinect & Hole In The Wall
Lately I’ve been a sucker for new Kinect content – likely due to the tremendous dry spell of worthwhile games that has been the situation since the device launched last Christmas. Fortunately, the time has come for the Arcade market to jump into Kinect, providing easy access to some simple Kinect-based fun. With a plethora of MS Points sitting in my account, I decided to pick up Fruit Ninja Kinect last week, and Hole in the Wall this week. Overall neither of them are totally amazing, but at least we’re moving in the right direction with easily accessible, creative, original Kinect content. Continue reading this article ›

August 29, 2011 Monday Nerd Song – Nursehella – Nursehellamentary
Nursehella is one of the minority female representatives of the nerdcore hiphop scene. This is one of her more rad tunes. It works for me as it mentions Harry Potter, Bubble Bobble, dry humping, Evil Dead and Bill Nye. What could go wrong with that combo?

August 26, 2011 Friday Nerd Song – Schaffer the Darklord – Nerd Lust
What better way is there to celebrate Friday (aside from Rebecca Black) than listening to a great nerdcore hiphop tune that celebrates the hotness of nerd women? There is none.
Schaffer the Darklord (STD) is another personal favorite of mine within the nerdcore hip-hop community and this track is one of my top jams. Do enjoy. And shake your inhaler, baby.

August 25, 2011 Wednesday Nerd Song – Jonathan Coulton – Code Monkey
For Wednesday, let’s hit up another big player in the nerd music scene. This funny folklorist is known not only for this wonderful song “Code Monkey,” but for a quality tune about Ikea, and most notably for composing everyone’s favorite song sung by an evil A.I., “Still Alive,” the closing song from Portal. Here is an acoustic version, as well as the original set against some weird WoW video:
